A large tented hall with white fabric ceiling and hanging colourful fabric tassels in yellow, blue and red. Dozens of seated devotees, mostly men in white clothes, sit in rows on floor mats facing a stage. On the stage, a large framed portrait of a man with dark hair and a red-brown background hangs above a small saffron-clad figure seated on a raised seat, with flowers and a low table nearby. Ceiling fans and a red and yellow bunting line the stage area. The scene suggests a gathering on a convention or ananda samajam occasion. The seated figure on stage is too small and indistinct to confirm identity.
